The present disclosure relates generally to novel heteroaryl-substitutedpyrimidines and their use as therapeutic agents, for example, asinhibitors of LRRK2.

BACKGROUND

Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's disease, amyotrophiclateral sclerosis (ALS), Alzheimer's disease, Lewy body dementia, andHuntington's disease affect millions of people. Parkinson's disease is achronic, progressive motor system disorder characterized by selectivedegeneration and cell death of dopaminergic neurons in the substantialnigra region of the brain. This leaves patients with impaired ability todirect and control their movements. The cause of the disease wasgenerally considered to be sporadic and unknown, but significantadvancements in understanding have been made in the last 15 years.

The genetic basis for the disease and associated pathogenic mechanismshave led exploration of the gene encoding leucine-rich repeat kinase 2(LRRK2) protein and its association with hereditary Parkinson's disease(Paisan-Ruiz et al., Neuron, Vol. 44(4), 2004, 601-607). LRRK2 is amember of the ROCO protein family and shares five conserved domains withall other family members. Many mis-sense mutations to the LRRK2 genehave been linked with autosomal dominant Parkinson's disease in familialstudies (Trinh and Farrar, Nature Reviews in Neurology, Vol. 9, 2013,445-454; Paisan-Ruiz et al., J. Parkinson's Disease, Vol. 3, 2013,85-103). The most common pathogenic mutation, G2019S, occurs in thehighly conserved kinase domain of LRRK2 (See Gilks et al., Lancet, Vol365, 2005, 415-416). In vitro studies indicate Parkinson'sdisease-associated mutation leads to increased LRRK2 activity and adecreased rate of GTP hydrolysis (Guo et al., Experimental CellResearch, Vol. 313(16), 2007, 3658-3670). This evidence suggests thekinase and GTPase activities of LRRK2 are important for pathogenesis andthe LRRK2 kinase domain may regulate overall LRRK2 function (SeeCookson, Nat. Rev. Neurosci., Vol. 11, 2010, 791-797).

While progress has been made in this field, there remains a need forimproved inhibitors of the LRRK2 receptor which are useful for treatmentof various neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's disease,Alzheimer's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

The terms “optional” or “optionally” means that the subsequentlydescribed event or circumstance may or may not occur and that thedescription includes instances where said event or circumstance occursand instances in which it does not. Also, the term “optionallysubstituted” refers to any one or more hydrogen atoms on the designatedatom or group may or may not be replaced by a moiety other thanhydrogen.

The term “substituted” used herein means any of the above groups (e.g.,alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, alkylene, alkoxy, haloalkyl, haloalkoxy,cycloalkyl, aryl, heterocyclyl, heteroaryl, and/or heteroalkyl) whereinat least one hydrogen atom is replaced by a bond to a non-hydrogen atomsuch as, but not limited to alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, alkoxy, alkylthio,acyl, amido, amino, amidino, aryl, aralkyl, azido, carbamoyl, carboxyl,carboxyl ester, cyano, cycloalkyl, cycloalkylalkyl, guanadino, halo,haloalkyl, haloalkoxy, hydroxyalkyl, heteroalkyl, heteroaryl,heteroarylalkyl, heterocyclyl, heterocyclylalkyl, hydrazine, hydrazone,imino, imido, hydroxy, oxo, oxime, nitro, sulfonyl, sulfinyl,alkylsulfonyl, alkylsulfinyl, thiocyanate, sulfinic acid, sulfonic acid,sulfonamido, thiol, thioxo, N-oxide, or —Si(R^(y))₃ wherein each R isindependently hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, heteroalkyl,cycloalkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, or heterocyclyl.

Polymers or similar indefinite structures arrived at by definingsubstituents with further substituents appended ad infinitum (e.g., asubstituted aryl having a substituted alkyl which is itself substitutedwith a substituted aryl group, which is further substituted by asubstituted heteroalkyl group, etc.) are not intended for inclusionherein. Unless otherwise noted, the maximum number of serialsubstitutions in compounds described herein is three. For example,serial substitutions of substituted aryl groups with two othersubstituted aryl groups are limited to ((substituted aryl)substitutedaryl) substituted aryl. Similarly, the above definitions are notintended to include impermissible substitution patterns (e.g., methylsubstituted with 5 fluorines or heteroaryl groups having two adjacentoxygen ring atoms). Such impermissible substitution patterns are wellknown to the skilled artisan. When used to modify a chemical group, theterm “substituted” may describe other chemical groups defined herein.Unless specified otherwise, where a group is described as optionallysubstituted, any substituents of the group are themselves unsubstituted.For example, in some embodiments, the term “substituted alkyl” refers toan alkyl group having one or more substituents including hydroxy, halo,alkoxy, acyl, oxo, amino, cycloalkyl, heterocyclyl, aryl and heteroaryl.In other embodiments, the one or more substituents may be furthersubstituted with halo, alkyl, haloalkyl, hydroxy, alkoxy, cycloalkyl,heterocyclyl, aryl, or heteroaryl, each of which is substituted. Inother embodiments, the substituents may be further substituted withhalo, alkyl, haloalkyl, alkoxy, hydroxy, cycloalkyl, heterocyclyl, aryl,or heteroaryl, each of which is unsubstituted.

Any compound or structure given herein, is also intended to representunlabeled forms as well as isotopically labeled forms of the compounds.Isotopically labeled compounds have structures depicted herein, exceptthat one or more atoms are replaced by an atom having a selected atomicmass or mass number. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated intothe disclosed compounds include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen,oxygen, phosphorous, fluorine, chlorine and iodine, such as ²H, ³H, ¹¹C,¹³C, ¹⁴C, ¹³N, ¹⁵N, ¹⁵O, ¹⁷O, ¹⁸O, ³¹P, ³²P, ³⁵S, ¹⁸F, ³⁶Cl, ¹²³I and¹²⁵I, respectively. Various isotopically labeled compounds of thepresent disclosure, for example those into which radioactive isotopessuch as ³H, ¹³C and ¹⁴C are incorporated. Such isotopically labelledcompounds may be useful in metabolic studies, reaction kinetic studies,detection or imaging techniques, such as positron emission tomography(PET) or single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) includingdrug or substrate tissue distribution assays or in radioactive treatmentof patients.

The disclosure also includes “deuterated analogs” of compounds describedherein in which from 1 to n hydrogens attached to a carbon atom is/arereplaced by deuterium, in which n is the number of hydrogens in themolecule. Such compounds exhibit increased resistance to metabolism andare thus useful for increasing the half-life of any compound whenadministered to a mammal, particularly a human. See, for example,Foster, “Deuterium Isotope Effects in Studies of Drug Metabolism,”Trends Pharmacol. Sci. 5(12):524-527 (1984). Such compounds aresynthesized by means well known in the art, for example by employingstarting materials in which one or more hydrogens have been replaced bydeuterium.

Deuterium labelled or substituted therapeutic compounds of thedisclosure may have improved DMPK (drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics)properties, relating to distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME).Substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium may afford certaintherapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, forexample increased in vivo half-life, reduced dosage requirements and/oran improvement in therapeutic index. An ¹⁸F, ³H, ¹¹C labeled compoundmay be useful for PET or SPECT or other imaging studies. Isotopicallylabeled compounds of this disclosure and prodrugs thereof can generallybe prepared by carrying out the procedures disclosed in the schemes orin the examples and preparations described below by substituting areadily available isotopically labeled reagent for a non-isotopicallylabeled reagent. It is understood that deuterium in this context isregarded as a substituent in a compound described herein.

The concentration of such a heavier isotope, specifically deuterium, maybe defined by an isotopic enrichment factor. In the compounds of thisdisclosure any atom not specifically designated as a particular isotopeis meant to represent any stable isotope of that atom. Unless otherwisestated, when a position is designated specifically as “H” or “hydrogen”,the position is understood to have hydrogen at its natural abundanceisotopic composition. Accordingly, in the compounds of this disclosureany atom specifically designated as a deuterium (D) is meant torepresent deuterium.

In many cases, the compounds of this disclosure are capable of formingacid and/or base salts by virtue of the presence of amino and/orcarboxyl groups or groups similar thereto.

Provided are also pharmaceutically acceptable salts, hydrates, solvates,tautomeric forms, stereoisomers and prodrugs of the compounds describedherein. “Pharmaceutically acceptable” or “physiologically acceptable”refer to compounds, salts, compositions, dosage forms and othermaterials which are useful in preparing a pharmaceutical compositionthat is suitable for veterinary or human pharmaceutical use.

The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” of a given compound refersto salts that retain the biological effectiveness and properties of thegiven compound and which are not biologically or otherwise undesirable.“Pharmaceutically acceptable salts” or “physiologically acceptablesalts” include, for example, salts with inorganic acids and salts withan organic acid. In addition, if the compounds described herein areobtained as an acid addition salt, the free base can be obtained bybasifying a solution of the acid salt. Conversely, if the product is afree base, an addition salt, particularly a pharmaceutically acceptableaddition salt, may be produced by dissolving the free base in a suitableorganic solvent and treating the solution with an acid, in accordancewith conventional procedures for preparing acid addition salts from basecompounds. Those skilled in the art will recognize various syntheticmethodologies that may be used to prepare nontoxic pharmaceuticallyacceptable addition salts. Pharmaceutically acceptable acid additionsalts may be prepared from inorganic and organic acids.

Some of the compounds exist as tautomers. Tautomers are in equilibriumwith one another. For example, amide containing compounds may exist inequilibrium with imidic acid tautomers. Regardless of which tautomer isshown and regardless of the nature of the equilibrium among tautomers,the compounds are understood by one of ordinary skill in the art tocomprise both amide and imidic acid tautomers. Thus, the amidecontaining compounds are understood to include their imidic acidtautomers. Likewise, the imidic acid containing compounds are understoodto include their amide tautomers.

The compounds of the invention, or their pharmaceutically acceptablesalts include an asymmetric center and may thus give rise toenantiomers, diastereomers, and other stereoisomeric forms that may bedefined, in terms of absolute stereochemistry, as (R)- or (S)- or, as(D)- or (L)- for amino acids. The present invention is meant to includeall such possible isomers, as well as their racemic and optically pureforms. Optically active (+) and (−), (R)- and (S)-, or (D)- and(L)-isomers may be prepared using chiral synthons or chiral reagents, orresolved using conventional techniques, for example, chromatography andfractional crystallization. Conventional techniques for thepreparation/isolation of individual enantiomers include chiral synthesisfrom a suitable optically pure precursor or resolution of the racemate(or the racemate of a salt or derivative) using, for example, chiralhigh pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). When the compounds describedherein contain olefinic double bonds or other centres of geometricasymmetry, and unless specified otherwise, it is intended that thecompounds include both E and Z geometric isomers.

A “stereoisomer” refers to a compound made up of the same atoms bondedby the same bonds but having different three-dimensional structures,which are not interchangeable. The present invention contemplatesvarious stereoisomers and mixtures thereof and includes “enantiomers,”which refers to two stereoisomers whose molecules are nonsuperimposablemirror images of one another.

“Diastereomers” are stereoisomers that have at least two asymmetricatoms, but which are not mirror-images of each other.

“Prodrugs” means any compound which releases an active parent drugaccording to a structure described herein in vivo when such prodrug isadministered to a mammalian subject. Prodrugs of a compound describedherein are prepared by modifying functional groups present in thecompound described herein in such a way that the modifications may becleaved in vivo to release the parent compound. Prodrugs may be preparedby modifying functional groups present in the compounds in such a waythat the modifications are cleaved, either in routine manipulation or invivo, to the parent compounds. Prodrugs include compounds describedherein wherein a hydroxy, amino, carboxyl, or sulfhydryl group in acompound described herein is bonded to any group that may be cleaved invivo to regenerate the free hydroxy, amino, or sulfhydryl group,respectively. Examples of prodrugs include, but are not limited toesters (e.g., acetate, formate and benzoate derivatives), amides,guanidines, carbamates (e.g., N,N-dimethylaminocarbonyl) of hydroxyfunctional groups in compounds described herein and the like.Preparation, selection and use of prodrugs is discussed in T. Higuchiand V. Stella, “Pro-drugs as Novel Delivery Systems,” Vol. 14 of theA.C.S. Symposium Series; “Design of Prodrugs,” ed. H. Bundgaard,Elsevier, 1985; and in Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design, ed. EdwardB.

General Synthesis

The following General Reaction Scheme I illustrates a general method ofmaking the compounds disclosed herein.

Referring to General Reaction Scheme I, compounds of formula (X) areprepared by coupling of a substituted pyrimidine of formula (Y) with anamine of formula (Z), wherein R², R³, ring B and m are defined as in anyof the formulas provided herein or by the specific compounds exemplifiedin Table 1A, Table 1B, Table 2A or Table 2B, and X is a leaving group.In certain embodiments, X is halo. Appropriate compounds of formula (Y)or (Z) can be prepared according to the more specific methods describedin the Examples which follow or by methods known to one of skill in theart. Coupling of compounds of formula (Y) and (Z) in presence of anacid, provides a compound of formula (X). In some embodiments, the acidis toluene sulfonic acid or trifluroacetic acid. In some embodiments,coupling of compounds of formula (Y) and (Z) in the presence of a baseprovides a compound of formula (X). In some embodiments, the base istriethylamine.

In one embodiment, provided is a method of preparing a compound offormula (X) comprising coupling a compound of formula (Y) with acompound of formula (Z) under conditions to provide the compound offormula (X), wherein R¹, R², R³, ring B and m are defined as in any ofthe formulas provided herein or by the specific compounds exemplified inTable 1A, Table 1B, Table 2A or Table 2B, and X is a leaving group. Incertain embodiments, X is halo.

When not commercially available, amines of formula (Z) can be preparedfrom commercially available starting materials. For example, in certainembodiments, amines of formula (Z) can be prepared from reducing thecorresponding nitro substituted compound. The amines of formula (Z) aretypically functionalized prior to the coupling with the substitutedpyrimidine of formula (Y). Where a certain stereoisomer is desired(e.g., a cis- or trans-stereoisomer of formula III, IIIA, or IIIB), asingle stereoisomer of the corresponding amine may be prepared prior tocoupling with the substituted pyrimidine of formula (Y). Each of thecis- and trans-stereoisomers can be prepared by selectively invertingthe stereochemistry prior to the installation of the cyano moiety on thecyclobutyl ring. In certain embodiments, amines of formula (Z) areprepared via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions using appropriatelyfunctionalized starting materials. Further functionalization orfunctional group interconversion may be performed before or after thecycloaddition reaction.

In certain embodiments, compounds of formula Ia can be preparedaccording to Scheme II.

Referring to General Reaction Scheme II, compounds of formula (2-3) canbe prepared by coupling appropriately substituted triazole (2-1) withappropriately substituted ester (2-2). Conversion of the ester ofcompound (2-3) to the α-cyanoketone compound (2-4) can be accomplishedunder substitution reaction conditions using a strong base (e.g.,butyllithium) and acetonitrile. Contacting compound (2-4) with anappropriately substituted hydrazine (2-5) or salt thereof, provides anamine of formula (2-6). Coupling of the amine of formula (2-6) with theappropriately substituted pyrimidine of formula (Y) can be accomplishedaccording to Scheme I, thus providing the compounds of formula Ia.

Example 17 Metabolic stability

Metabolic stability of compounds was evaluated in human liver microsomes(from Corning or XenoTech, LLC) using a 96-well plate assay format.Compounds were incubated at 37° C. at 1 M final concentration in themicrosomal matrix (0.5 mg/mL total protein) in the presence or absenceof NADPH cofactor. An NADPH regenerating system, comprised of NADP,MgCl₂, isocitric acid, and isocitrate dehydrogenase, was used in theassay. Enzymatic reactions were conducted for 0, 5, 10, 20, 30, or 60min before termination by addition of acetonitrile containingtolbutamide and labetalol internal standards (100 ng/mL). After shakingfor 10 min, plates were subjected to centrifugation (4000 rpm at 4° C.)for 20 min and supernatants were mixed 1:3 with HPLC grade water.Samples were analyzed by LC-MS/MS using appropriate MRM transitions foreach analyte and internal standard (IS). Analyte/IS peak area ratioswere used to determine percent compound remaining at each time point.Intrinsic clearance (Cl_(int); expressed as mL·min⁻¹·mg⁻¹) wascalculated from the first order elimination constant (k, min⁻¹) of testarticle decay and the volume of the incubation. These values were scaledto intrinsic organ clearance (Cl_(int)) using human specific scalingfactors (48.8 mg microsomal protein per g liver; 25.7 g liver per kgbody weight). Organ Cl_(int) was subsequently converted to hepaticclearance (CL_(hep), mL·min-1·kg-1) using the well-stirred model ofhepatic elimination, where Q_(h) is human hepatic blood flow (20.7mL·min-1·kg-1).

${CL_{hep}} = \frac{Q_{h}*CL_{int}}{\left( {Q_{h} + {CL_{int}}} \right)}$

CL_(hep) is the projected human clearance in the liver based on theabove in vitro assay. A lower value is indicative of less compound beingremoved by the liver. Surprisingly, compounds having a C5-pyrazoleattachment to the aminopyrimidine core resulted in a lower clearance(i.e., improved stability) as compared to compounds having a C4-pyrazoleattachment to the aminopyrimidine core, without a significant change inpotency.

Example 18 MDR1-MDCK Permeability

The blood brain barrier (BBB) separates circulating blood from theextracellular fluid of the central nervous system (CNS). The passivemembrane permeability (Papp) and MDR1 (P-glycoprotein) substrate effluxpotential were determined using the MDR1-MDCK cell line as an in vitromodel of the effective permeability of a compound through the BBB. Abidirectional assay was conducted in pre-plated MDR1-MDCK cells using a12 or 96-well plate in the absence or presence of MDR1 inhibitor(GF120918 or Valspodar). Assays were run in duplicate in transportbuffer (HBSS, pH 7.4) for 90 or 120 min (minutes) at 37° C., using atest article concentration of 1 μM. Monolayer integrity was confirmedusing Lucifer yellow, and appropriate positive controls for passivepermeability and MDR1 transport were included in each experiment.Following incubation, samples from donor and receiver compartments wereremoved and quenched with acetonitrile containing an appropriateinternal standard (IS). Protein was precipitated by centrifugation for10 min at 3220 g, and supernatants were diluted in ultra-pure water (ifnecessary) prior to analysis by LC-MS/MS using appropriate MRMtransitions for analytes and IS. Papp (apparent permeability expressedin cm/sec [centimeter/second]) values were calculated according to thefollowing equation:

${P_{app}\left( {{cm}/\sec} \right)} = {\frac{dC_{R}}{dt} \times \frac{V_{R}}{\left( {{Area} \times C_{A}} \right)}\mspace{14mu}{or}\mspace{20mu}\frac{V_{R}}{{Area} \times {Time}} \times \frac{C_{R}}{C_{o}}}$where V_(R) is the solution volume in the receiver chamber (apical orbasolateral side), Area is the surface area for the insert membrane),Time is incubation time expressed in seconds, C_(R) is the peak arearatio (analyte/IS) in the receiver chamber, C_(A) is the average of theinitial and final concentrations in the donor chamber, and C_(o) is theinitial peak area ratio in the donor chamber. P_(app) was determined inboth the apical to basolateral (A→B) and basolateral to apical (B→A)directions.

Monolayer efflux ratios (ER) were derived using the following equation:

${ER} = \left\lbrack \frac{P_{app}\left( B\rightarrow A \right)}{P_{app}\left( A\rightarrow B \right)} \right\rbrack$

Compounds with an MDR1-MDCK efflux ratio of less than or equal to fiveare likely to demonstrate ability to cross the blood-brain-barrier.

Compounds having the 1,2,3-triazole substituent were surprisingly brainpenetrant as compared to molecules having a 1,2,4-triazole moiety.
